Ingredients
  

Steak and Pasta
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye sliced thin
  • 12 oz fettuccine or penne dry pasta
  • 1 tsp kosher salt for seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for searing
Creamy Sauce
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream room temperature
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 5 oz Boursin cheese garlic herb
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning dried
  • 1 tbsp parsley fresh garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Heavy Skillet
  • tongs
  • whisk
  • Chef'S Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While pasta cooks, pat the steak strips dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear the steak in batches for 2 minutes per side until browned but still tender, then remove to a plate.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, melt the butter in the same skillet, and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Whisk in the heavy cream and Boursin cheese, simmering gently for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Stir in the parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  8. Toss the cooked pasta and seared steak back into the skillet, coating everything thoroughly in the creamy sauce.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while the sauce is perfectly velvety.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your steak is at room temperature before searing to achieve a deep crust without overcooking the center. If the sauce becomes too thick while tossing, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
